Re: still taking prenatal vitamins?

agree with pp. I've been on mine since August 2004. First for conception & pregnancy, then for nursing and then because of wanting a 2nd child.

So if you're thinking of having more kids then you may find it easier to just stay on rather than restarting them a couple months prior to trying to conceive. (Aside: I stress this because of the folate in the vit.s: remember it's in the 2nd month of prenatal life that the fetus' neural tube closes so some moms don't even know they are pregnant yet before the damage is done).

Re: still taking prenatal vitamins?

Agree with the pp's. My DD I'm nursing is 11 months and I'm still taking them. Been taking them since we began TTC, way back in June '06 (conceived in Jan '07). My OB said to keep taking them as long as I'm nursing and/or TTC.

Re: still taking prenatal vitamins?

yup same here. dd is 15 m and nursing 4-6 times a day. Still taking a multi..( its not a pre natal though). Once I wean dd around 2 we will probably TTC again so I am guessing Ill be on a multi for a few years.
